But the worst news out of the Jew world in the last couple days is a report that the Western Wall prayer books are full of shit. LITERALLY. And they’re blaming it on the tears of women.

Unpaid Internships: Bad for Students, Bad for... →
theatlantic:
The economics of unpaid internships are obvious. Employers are desperate for cheap work, and “free” is pretty cheap. Workers are desperate for, well, anything, and students and recent grads are willing to negotiate their wages down to zero. But the ethics aren’t so clear-cut. If unpaid internships are the key to better jobs and bigger salaries, should we be concerned about the...

Cynicism or Incompetence?
ninety9:
Over the next four years, people (meaning more New York-focused and -based people than anywhere else) will have to muddle through articles written by people who claim to be adult and free-thinking, rational, professional observers of political fact around the topic of who would be a better candidate in 2016: Hilary Clinton or Andrew Cuomo.

“Work is a drag and I slow-drift down a murky cataract of razor sharp doubt and sledge-hammer tedium. Lied so I could work from home today. Couldn’t stand to do the commute and sit around beating back the glaringly obvious pallor of Who The Fuck Cares that I surely display.

You have probably heard of the Ohio Cub Scout leader who was forced to resign for being a lesbian.

This is my friend Mike Tully’s next movie, Ping-Pong Summer. We’ve been talking about it since the mid 90s and while there were periods of interest (this was before learning it’s easy to get a meeting but nowhere fast in Hollywood), it was left for dead by 2004.

Bruce Sterling's New Aesthetic Essay Truncated
powhida:
The New Aesthetic is image-processing
The New Aesthetic concerns itself with “an eruption of the digital into the physical.”
